Ok, I need some help. I have a vibration that I can feel in the stick and I need to nail it down to what the issue is. If anyone has specs, or advice to what I should be doing, all help is greatly appreciated. Here is the build to give you an idea of where I am at.
71 Charger:
RMS front end (rack and pinion)
Tremec 5 speed
Mcleod clutch (see link). Originally purchased this kit for the 4 speed that was in the car. Kept the plate and changed the disk to one supplied by Tremec with the tranny when I decided to go 5 speed.

Hydraulic clutch release bearing
Mcleod #464100 Flywheel
8 3/4" with 3:91 Eaton sure grip and strange axles
Super stock springs in the rear with Side A Links
Custom fab driveshaft (7290 joint), Has been balanced and rechecked once already.
4 wheel Wilwood disk brakes
weld in frame connectors
400 BB that is bored and stroked to 512
At some speeds (no load situation), there appears to be no vibration. 2000RPM in 5th in my car is about 67 MPH, it appears to have no vibration at that speed. If I jump up to 2100 and higher (as well as under load), I have a vibration I can feel in the stick (does not feel like a tire vibration).
Any ideas on what the issue may be?
Has anyone got a spec on the pinion angle? I know when the shop set it, the rear of my car sat much higher. Since it has settled over the winter, it may need to be changed. Looking for a spec range as well as where to measure? On the driveshaft?
This is frustrating because everything is new underneath, looking for some help and some direction. Any advice greatly appreciated. Thx.
